Franklin Graham recently sat down on The Record with Greta Van Susteren to share heartwarming stories from Samaritan’s Purse about giving Christmas shoeboxes to children who have never received a present. He described the priceless reactions of kids opening simple gifts, a reminder that American charity still leads with compassion, faith, and action rather than empty government promises.
The Operation Christmas Child program reaches children in more than a hundred countries and delivers millions of shoeboxes each year, bringing smiles, hope, and the Gospel to places that need it most. Franklin Graham talked about seeing whole communities light up when those shoeboxes arrive, and those images ought to shame the elites who prefer virtue-signaling to rolling up their sleeves.
This is classic American generosity — faith-based, efficient, and effective — the kind of hands-on help big government can’t replicate. Samaritan’s Purse has been doing this work for decades, pairing relief with discipleship through programs like The Greatest Journey so children aren’t just given toys, they’re told they are precious and loved. For conservatives who believe charity begins with the voluntary and the local, it’s an inspiring model.
No mainstream left-wing outlet gave this story the attention it deserved, but outlets like Newsmax and hosts like Greta Van Susteren are airing special coverage so everyday Americans can see where their donations go. That coverage lets citizens judge for themselves which approach — bureaucratic spending or neighborly giving — actually changes lives.
If you want to make a real difference this season, consider supporting organizations that deliver tangible results instead of waiting on Washington to do the right thing. Samaritan’s Purse even explains how a modest contribution — including a $10 shipping gift option per shoebox — directly funds getting these presents into children’s hands and spreading a message of hope. Americans who love freedom, faith, and family should be proud to stand behind this work.
